I agree with you we need database manipulation in Phobos. However 
modules like db, gui, xml or similar are too much work for a one 
developer. And as you can see from time to time there apears 
someone with its own vision.

That's why, long time ago, I suggested DIP73 
(http://wiki.dlang.org/DIP73) so the collaborative work would be 
controlled by the D community (or the D foundation). But I am 
aware that there is no agreement nor resources for that.

I agree that we (as a community) should work on common and 
effective APIs. Maybe when D foundation is big enough...
